Posted February 14, 20232 yr comment_650278 Can anyone tell me the proper orientation of the shifter for a manual transmission. I'm working on a 73Z, converting to a manual from an automatic. The manual trans is from a 72Z. Since I never saw the shift lever installed I need to be sure I'm installing it properly. All the fisch and fsm pics show a straight lever. Attached is a photo of how I think it should be installed. Can anyone verify ?

CanTechZ just posted but I'm sending anyway! https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-datsun-240z-226/ Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/68138-shifter-orientation/#findComment-650280 Share on other sites More sharing options...
